Because I think he acted in self defense. Someone else laid hands on him. It doesn’t matter if he wasn’t supposed to be under the team’s tent. He didn’t pose any threat to anyone and wouldn’t have stabbed metcalf if he didn’t lay his hands on him

I’m not gonna sit here and pretend like Metcalf is a saint or the circumstances of the trial weren’t a joke (from what I have heard), but bringing a knife to a school sports event and then stabbing someone over a push is baaaaaaaaaad.

Maybe im missing some key details, but that’s my take away at the moment. Should have been manslaughter though, or 3rd degree murder. Being found guilty of 1st degree murder is crazy.

This is ridiculous. Even if he had to defend himself (he didn’t, he was the aggressor), the force wasn’t proportional. Not self defense

You know now that I think about it, manslaughter might have been more appropriate of a charge. It doesn’t seem like there was intent to kill. And yeah having a knife on school grounds is bad

1st degree is like actually just a crazy verdict to reach. Bit to on the nose of being a sham trial I fear. Hopefully he can get somewhere with an appeal, but who knows with the state of our government rn…

TX doesn’t recognize 3rd degree murder as a criminal charge, it’s either murder or manslaughter

The funny thing is if the races were reversed you would be calling for the death penalty

“Manslaughter” when everyone knows stabbing someone can kill them

First degree is proven by the fact that he warned Austin he would do it before he did it

Stop making excuses for him. This is a violent person who was rightfully removed from society

Nice strawman. Yes, you are wrong. I don’t really think children ever deserve the death penalty

I find that hard to believe. The only reason people on the left are defending him is because he’s black. If the murderer was white you would be outraged

Well you can think whatever you want but nobody deserves 35 years for manslaughter or self defense regardless of who did it or how you spin it

Except in the court of law it was ruled first degree murder. Keep coping with your made up manslaughter charge though

Yes, because in reality we would have probably never even heard about it. It would be news that didn’t leave the community, but what are conservatives without singular examples to be racist fear mongers. Never mind that the parents of both sides said this never had anything to do with race.

You don’t understand anything about the legal process…

It was made about race when people started protesting his trial and claiming the jury selection process was racist (it wasn’t)

Ah yes, the American court of law that is known for being an infallible arbiter of truth, justice, and ontological right-ness 😂
